Targeting mitochondrial retrograde signaling may therefore be promising in the treatment or prevention of metabolic disorders ...

Where do these mitochondria come from? It is very likely that injuries cause cell lysis, degradation, and tissue breakdown (necrosis), which release the contents of cells, including broken ...

Cancer cells cripple immune cells by donating their damaged mitochondria, hindering the immune response and fostering tumour ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Reversing mitochondrial damage could help cure diabetes Regardless of the cell type, the researchers found that damage to the mitochondria did not cause cell death. This observation brought up the ...

The researchers who made the discovery propose that the independent mitochondria may be released by cells for signaling purposes, although more work is needed to validate that hypothesis. “It’s very ...

Mitochondria are essential for generating energy that fuels cells and helps them function. Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
